Baie vriendelike ontvangs, stil, skoon en veilig! Ek en my hond het 'n uitstekende nagrus ervaar vir die volgende dag se lang pad. Netheid van die akkommodasie was opmerklik. Ons kon regtig ontspan en herlaai vir ons verdere reis.

Fasiliteite was slegs gebruik om te oornag. Was aangenaam en gasvrou baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Rustige, stil omgewing. Geen TV of mikrogolf, maar ons het dit nie nodig gehad nie. Het baie lekker gebly.

Hoogs aanbeveel. Mare en haar dogter het ons bederf met braaibroodjies, tjoppies, wors, hoendersosaties en 'n pastaslaai vir ons braai. Die kamer is pragtig skoon en daar is 'n gemeenskaplike TV-kamer en kombuis. Die kroegie werk op 'n eerlikheidsbasis. Vat jou drankie en skryf dit neer in die boek. Baie lekker gekuier.

Ons het baie lekker daar oorgeslaap en heerlike aandete en ontbyt daar geëet.

Baie vriendelike, opregte Karoo-gasvryheid! Rustige plaas-atmosfeer en reg langs die N1. Ons kan beslis Joalani Gastehuis aanbeveel.

Very basic - suitable for a sleepover.

I arranged with the owner for 2 units for 4 adults and 1 toddler - however, they put us all together in 1 self-catering unit, but there were no crockery and cutlery - except mugs and teaspoons - in the unit! How can you have dinner, in a self-catering unit, without knives, forks, and plates?

'n Gerieflike oornagpunt op die N1 Kaapstad-Pretoria.

Ons was 'n groep van 4 volwassenes, 3 kinders, 3 kleinerige honde, 3 sleepvoertuie en 3 sleepwaens en het in 2 chalets oornag. Joalani was bereid om ons te akkommodeer. Joalani is naby die N1 geleë, maar was ver genoeg dat die verkeer ons glad nie gepla het nie. Ons het Joalani baie gerieflik gevind met groot genoeg ruimte om met die voertuie en sleepwaens te draai sonder om te moes afhaak of vorentoe en agtertoe te sukkel. Die chalets was toegerus soos dit geadverteer is met beddens en matrasse wat 'n aangename nagrus verseker het voordat daar weer 'n lang skof die volgende dag aangepak moes word. In die midsomer kan die chalets baie warm raak, maar die waaiers in die kamers maak dit baie draagliker. Die swembad op die terrein is ook heerlik om in af te koel.

A convenient overnight stop on the N1 Cape Town-Pretoria.

We were a group of 4 adults, 3 children, 3 small dogs, 3 tow vehicles and 3 trailers and stayed overnight in 2 chalets. Joalani was willing to accommodate us. Joalani is located close to the N1, but was far enough that the traffic didn't bother us at all. We found Joalani very comfortable with plenty of room to turn with the vehicles and trailers without having to unhook or struggle forwards and backwards. The chalets were equipped as advertised with beds and mattresses which ensured a pleasant night's rest before another long shift the next day. In midsummer the chalets can get very hot, but the fans in the rooms make it much more bearable. The swimming pool on site is also lovely to cool off in.

Ongelooflike Karoo gasvryheid - baie goeie waarde vir geld.

Daar was 2 vegans saam met ons op reis en op versoek het Mare vir hulle die heerlikse vegan botterskorsie-gereg gemaak, en daarna op hulle versoek ook nog 'n slaai en braaibroodjies. Ons braaipakke met regte egte Karoo-lam, braaibroodjies, aartappel- EN beetslaai was onvoortreflik! Hulle braaibroodjies is van die beste ooit! Ons het regtig tuis gevoel - wonderlike diens en gasvryheid - kan hulle met vrymoedigheid aanbeveel.

Amazing Karoo hospitality - very good value for money.

There were 2 vegans traveling with us and at their request Mare made them the delicious vegan butternut squash dish, and then at their request also another salad and barbecue sandwiches. Our barbecue packs with real genuine Karoo lamb, barbecue buns, potato AND beetroot salad were unsurpassed! Their barbecue sandwiches are some of the best ever! We really felt at home - great service and hospitality - can recommend them with confidence.

Alles was skoon en netjies en gerieflik naby aan die N1. Baie dankie aan die gasvrou vir vriendelike ontvangs.

Dis n baie mooi plek. Eienaars laat jou baie tuis voel, gerieflik en skoon. Die ete in die eetkamer met die kaggelvuur en kinders wat in en uit hardloop was gesellig en 'n lekker rooiwyn saam met die lamspastei. Ons sal beslis weer kom.

Die eenheid is heeltemal voldoende en ek hou van die plaas-opset.

Die eenheid was skoon en netjies. Kan dalk kapstok/hangplek aanbring vir baadjies ens. in hoofvertrek. Trokgeraas op die nabygeleë N1 kan sommige mense dalk pla. Ek hou van die ligging en die natuur daar. Het nie etes geneem nie en kan dus nie kommentaar lewer nie.

Presies wat reisigers nodig het om van 'n lang rit te herstel.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en was baie tevrede met ons kamer en die geriewe. Ons het aandete by Joalani bestel en het absoluut heerlik geëet. Iets wat ons graag onder hulle aandag wil bring is die geluide wat die "geyser" of die doringboomtakke op die dak maak. Die wind het taamlik sterk gewaai en die vreemde geluide het ons die hele nag gepla.

Exactly what travelers need to recover from a long drive.

We were received very kindly and were very satisfied with our room and the facilities. We ordered dinner from Joalani and had an absolutely delicious meal. Something we would like to bring to their attention is the noises made by the "geyser" or the thorn tree branches on the roof. The wind was blowing quite strongly and the strange noises bothered us all night.

Heerlik rustig en veilig, netjies en skoon, ongelooflike goeie waarde vir geld.

Ek was werklik aangenaam verras. Ek het in die budget-kamer geslaap, maar ek het niks meer nodig gehad nie. Die prys was ongelooflik billik. Ek sal selfs volgende keer oorweeg om my eie tentjie op te slaan. Die kamer het nie 'n en suite badkamer nie, maar die gemeenskaplike badkamer was pragtig netjies, al was dit 'n entjie van die kamer af. Ek kon lekker afkoel in die swembad en ek was dankbaar dat my hondjie ook welkom was.

I was really pleasantly surprised. I stayed in the budget room, but had everything I needed. The price was very reasonable. I would even consider putting up my own tent next time. My room didn't have an en-suite bathroom, but the communal bathroom was beautifully neat, even though it was a little walk from the room. I was able to cool down in the swimming pool and I was happy that my dog was also welcome.

A definite must-do.

Where to begin? Arriving at Joalani Guest Farm we were welcomed with a warm smile and the most unforgettable scenery. We stayed in the budget chalet and it suited our needs perfectly! A frigde, fan and doom to make our stay even more convenient. The braai pack is definitely recommendable and great value for money - it includes wood and fire lighters. We had a wonderful night under the stars with wine and meat to die for. Perfect place to stay over if you are travelling on the N1 highway. Dankie tannie vir 'n onvergeetlike lekker ruskans voor die swottings begin. Sien tannie definitief weer!

Dit was rustig!

Die "budget"-kamer het ons verruil met 'n kamer met 'n badkamer (met bybetaling natuurlik). Die rede is dat die ablusieblok heeltemal te ver van die "budget"-kamer is en dit was nie baie duidelik oorgedra nie. Die ontvangs was vriendelik en goed.

Baie lekker oorslaapplek.

Ons het baie laat arriveer, maar ons gasvrou was baie vriendelik. Die kamer was gereed en baie netjies. Enigste ding wat gepla het was die ketel se koord wat nie by die plug kan bykom as dit op die yskas staan nie. Dit is bietjie ongemaklik om op die grond te werk - 'n verlengingskoord sal wonderlik wees.

We arrived late but our host was very friendly. The room was ready and very neat. Only problem was that the kettle's cord could not reach the plug when it stands on the fridge. It is a bit uncomfortable to work on the ground.

Baie tevrede met die goeie diens, hulle is ook baie behulpsaam - dankie.

Baie tevrede. Tipiese plaas-atmosfeer en goed geleë vir 'n oornag-bestemming.

Aaklig.

Ons het met Joalani gereël dat ons vroeër sou arriveer en dit was reg met hulle, maar toe ons daar kom is die bestuur nie daar nie en hulle het niks met die personeel gereël nie. Ons het vir 'n uur in die hitte gewag en niemand het gekom nie! Het toe weer teruggery na Driesusters vir kos met die hoop dat wanneer ons wees arriveer sal iemand daar was. Ons moes toe weet vir n uur wag. Die personeellid het ons maar toe net in 'n kamer gesit. Geen lugversorging nie. Die kamer was darem netjies. Die swembad is grasgroen wat seker die oorsaak is vir al die muskiete. Ons het net twee ure gerus en maar die pad met twee babas aangepak na Bloemfontein toe. Ons het die volledige bedrag betaal, maar voel eerlik waar dat ons nie moes nie. Sal nie die plek aanbeveel of weer gebruik nie.

Horrible.

We arranged with Joalani that we would arrive earlier and it was okay with them, but when we got there the management was not there and they didn't arrange anything with the staff. We waited in the heat for an hour and no one came! Then drove back to Three Sisters for food hoping that when we arrived someone would be there. We then had to wait for an hour. The staff member just put us in a room. No air conditioning. At least the room was tidy. The pool is grass green which is probably the cause of all the mosquitoes. We only rested for two hours and started the road to Bloemfontein with two babies. We paid the full amount but honestly feel we shouldn't have. Would not recommend or use the place again.

Hi, eks jammer om al die klagtes te hoor! Ek het nooit adverteer dat ek lugreeling het nie. Ons inklok tyd is om 14:00, en die gas het aangevra om bietjie vroeer in te klok. Ons uitklok tyd is om 10:00, en hierdie gas het om 9 uur aangekom. Ek kan ongelukkig nie my vorige gaste aanvra om voor die uitklok tyd hul kamer te verlaat om nuwe gaste in te laat nie. Die kamer moet ook eers skoon gemaak word. Die gaste het slegs 'n paar uur gebly en na 14:00 verlaat en nie die nag oorgebly nie. Die swembad was nie groen nie en my ander gaste het die dag geswem. Aangaande die muskiete, ek verskaf masjienkies en spuitgif. Ongelukkig met die droogte, staan die water van die fontein en muskiete broei uit. Weereens se ek jammer dat dit hul ondervinding was.

Dit was fantasties na 'n lang, warm dag se ry.

Dit is 'n puik oornagfasiliteit, met lekker yskoue bier, veral as 'n mens moeg gery is. Ontbyt was baie lekker en mens het weer kans gesien vir die res van die pad.

It was fantastic after a long, hot day of driving.

It is a great overnight facility, with nice ice cold beer, especially if one is tired from driving. Breakfast was very nice and you saw a chance again for the rest of the road.

Baie gasvrye diens!

Die bestemming is naby aan die snelweg en maklik toegangbaar. Die eenheid was skoon en netjies en die geriewe gemaklik. Ek het welkom gevoel, asof ek vir 'n kuier op die plaas was. Heerlike koffie en beskuit het my ingewag na 'n lang dag in die motor. Hulle het my laat ure tegemoet gekom en my baie vriendelik dou voor dag geskakel, net om op te volg of ek uitgerus is en my verblyf geniet het. Baie dankie Joalani, dit was 'n kort kuier by warm, gasvrye, nuwe vriende.

Very hospitable service!

The destination is close to the highway and easily accessible. The unit was clean and tidy and the facilities comfortable. I felt welcome, as if I was visiting the farm. Delicious coffee and biscuits awaited me after a long day in the car. They met me at late hours and very kindly called me before dawn, just to follow up if I was rested and enjoyed my stay. Thank you very much Joalani, it was a short visit with warm, hospitable, new friends.

Dit is 'n rustige omgewing en sal beslis weer daar oornag.

Die ontvangs was baie hartlik alhoewel daar 'n misverstand aan my kant was, het die eienaar dit vinnig besef en die situasie baie professioneel hanteer.

It's a peaceful setting and would definitely stay there again.

The reception was very warm although there was a misunderstanding on my part, the owner realized it quickly and handled the situation very professionally.

Etes is te duur.

Ek voel die R160 wat ons vir twee baie klein aandetes betaal het is buitensporig. So ook die prys van R60 vir ontbyt. Dis veels te duur.

Meals are too expensive.

I feel the R160 we paid for two very small dinners is excessive. So is the price of R60 for breakfast. It's way too expensive.

Jammer om te hoor! Die skaaptjops, wors en braaibroodjie plus waatlemoen is 'n ligte ete wat beslis die prys gestand doen, selfs in die Karoo is ongelukkig niks verniet nie. Die ontbyt wat uit jogurt, vrugte, muesli, 2 eiers, 2 repe rugspek, 2 stukke wors plus 2 snye roosterbrood, sap en koffie bestaan is nie 'klein' soos u dit beskryf nie. As gasvrou is ek jammer dat u nie die probleem tydens u verblyf genoem het nie.
